M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Manage the Time Settings The switch software supports the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP). As its name suggests, it is a less complicated version of Network Time Protocol, which is a system for synchronizing the clocks of networked computer systems, primarily when data transfer is handled through the Internet. Configure the Time Setting To configure the time setting: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4. Select System > Management > Time > Time Configuration. 5. Select the Clock Source Local or SNTP radio button. The default is SNTP. The local clock can be set to SNTP only if the following two conditions are met: • The SNTP server is configured. • The SNTP last attempt status is successful. 6. In the Date field, specify the current date in months, days, and years. 7. In the Time field, specify the current time in hours, minutes, and seconds. 8. Click the Apply button.
